Our driving plans were to drive from Barcelona to Besalu, and then to a vineyard outside of Manresa and then onto our overnight pitstop in Lleida.
Besalu
We picked this location based on an article which stated that it was one of the more picturesque locations in Spain, And it certainly did not disappoint.
Besalu – Medieval Fortified Village
The town has a population of about 2400 people. And its crowning gem is the romanesque point over the river Fluvia. The town is a living picture postcard, where every turn present a quaint cobbled street framed by beautiful homes.
Narrow streets crisscross the old town. Lined with some nice restaurants that serve local fare. Stone archways crown the streets as one explores them. Details are everywhere carved onto the facades of buildings dating back to the 11th century.
The town had a jewish quarter and the Monastery of Saint Paul.

We ended the day at the other end of the bridge looking onto the town with some sangria and a curious friend.
Finding friends during my travels.Saying goodbye at the Restaurant Castell de Besalu.
The meaning of the “second chance” I seek has been changed a lot. I started writing this in the hope of saving my marriage. But as time showed me , that was futile and misguided. Now I seek a second chance to be father to my six year old boy. He will no longer live with me starting aug2018. I hope to use this blog to allow him an insight into his father. I would want him to read this when he is older.
My original synopsis
A man in crisis. I am a 30 -something man. My 10 year marriage shattering in front of my eyes. I have decided that writing helps. I am hoping to heal from whats coming, but before that I have to deal with it. Experience the pain, I know I will feel, when my wife walks out the door.
I have a little boy who I don't want to lose. And I am scared. Of restarting my life from scratch. I am hoping to find kindred spirits on the blog, who are going through or have gone through what I am experiencing.
But I have hope, and I have faith. To some degree, I hope to reconcile my marriage.
